@justinfreakin: El-Sayed Calls Democrats Cowards For Not Calling To Abolish ICE (CNN) The stark choice facing Michigan’s Democratic voters in the August 4 Senate primary was on display Monday night, as the two candidates closed their final debate by pitching themselves as best positioned to win a general election that could tip the balance of power in the chamber. Rep. Haley Stevens name-dropped a powerful ally, two-term Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, for the fifth and final time that evening. She bragged that she’d won in a Republican-leaning congressional district northwest of Detroit. And she said she “will be Michigan’s workhorse.” Her progressive rival, former public health official Abdul El-Sayed, vowed to be independent from corporate and foreign interests he said have too much influence in both parties. “You’ve got to have something you’re fighting for,” he said. El-Sayed and Stevens are facing off in the highest-stakes Democratic primary of the 2026 midterm elections — one that pits a progressive favorite against an establishment-backed moderate in one of the nation’s most important battleground states. The winner will face Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers in November, as Democrats seek to hold onto the seat of retiring Sen. Gary Peters. Without doing so, the party’s chances of winning the net four-seat gain they need to claim the Senate majority would all but evaporate. #Senate #NewsUpdate #politics
